About DenverThe University of Denver Rugby Football Club(DURFC) was established in 1962. The club draws from student population of the University of Denver from both graduate and undergraduate students. The players on the team vary greatly in age, skill level, and back round. A majority of the team’s players ages range from late teens to early twenties, with a few exceptions into late twenties and early thirties. A majority of our players only have a year or two of experience under their belt, but many have played for 3 or more years all the way from youth and high school levels of play. While the whole team attends the University of Denver, they vary greatly in their origins. Player’s home towns stretch across the continental U.S. from Seattle to Greenwich and there even players from Alaska and Hawaii. DURFC also has international players from countries like South Africa and United Kingdom.
